CHAPTER 158
"So correct me if I am lying. But be truthful and tell me, Andromeda, you missed me, didn't you?"
For the first time since that afternoon, she had been in his office, Andromeda was truly at a loss for words on her best to answer his question.
"Please. I just want you to say it, already," Liu Xueyi pleaded.
"Xueyi," she exhaled deeply as she bit down on her lower lip but the words he so much wished to hear, she kept hidden from him.
"Tell me the truth or I'll kiss you," he threatened.
"Like hell, if I do, you won't still kiss me," she found herself retorting without a second thought to his feelings or what he was going to do.
To her surprise, a wry smile glimmered in his eyes as he stared down at her.
She knew right there and then that she had really crossed a boundary she may very well have sold herself to.
"Since you know, I guess my idea to allow you to choose between the hard way and the easy was a waste of my time. I shall do both and kiss you."
"Xueyi," she immediately clamped her lips shut, taking them into her mouth while warning him with her eyes.
"Sorry I cannot hear you. I guess I have to do it. After all, I told you I won't stop kissing you. How then should I punish you for running away from me all these days?"
The second he made mention of punishment, Andromeda's mind was immediately taken back to Xu Fang and the supposed punishment.
At that moment she could not help but imagine what Xu Fang's punishment was and she questioned him outrightly.
"Wait, do not tell me Xu Fang's punishment or what he did was to be kissed by you? No, I mean part of his punishment would be…"
The moment the words left her lips, she regretted it as it did not make sense. Most importantly, she only succeeded in locking her fate with the devil.
"I see you have a very vivid imagination there. Why not correct things?"
Instantly, her heartbeat increased exponentially as she watched him with nowhere to hide and no means of escape.
"The only one I dare to kiss or even give that to as a form of punishment is you, Andy. Now, please gladly receive and accept your punishment."
She had thought he would seek her opinion first buts he was surprisingly wrong and had all of her thoughts thrown out the window the second he leaned down, pressing his lips to hers.
Judging from all his earlier words, Andromeda had expected the kiss to be quite calm but to her surprise, although it was calm when their lips melt, Liu Xueyi snaked a hand around her waist, while using the free one to hold her jaw, tilting her chin up.
She pried open her lips, granting him access into her mouth and to tame her unruly tongue and he did just that.
She shut her eyes, forcing her consciousness and thoughts away as she decided to focus on the fierce kisses that threatened to steal her breath away.
They spent the next minutes kissing and loving the warmth of the other person's mouth.
For Liu Xueyi who had been starved all week of her lips, upon getting an opportunity, he grabbed it and relished in the sweetness of her mouth.
Finally, they broke apart and came up for air, but his eyes never left hers.
She looked like a ripe apple waiting to be plucked and who better than him to do it?
"Hey, beautiful. Do you miss me now?"
She bit down on her lips, fighting the urge to tell him yes and request more of his kisses.
As much as he knew the answer, he wished to know exactly what her response would be.
"What if I say no, what would you do?"
His eyes twinkled with determination at her words. "I would make you miss me."
"How?" Andromeda challenged again with her question. However, his remark this time left her both speechless and confused.
"Kiss you till only thoughts of me remain on your mind."
"Fine. And what if I say yes?"
"Then I would surprise you." Andromeda narrowed her eyes at him, trying to figure out what was going on in his mind. "Tell me what is your answer?"
"Yes," she stated firmly. "I missed you."
To her surprise, his smile broadened, reaching up to his eyes as they masked with ease the mischief that lay over prior.
"Perfect."
He pulled her up into a sitting position on his thigh and reached up for her jaw once more as he brought her face closer to his.
Unlike other times, he did not act gentle and cool. He was both joyed within and outside.
The second their lips touched Andromeda let go of all her worries and inhibitions and let him take her as he wished.
They spent a little time making out, ignoring any other cares about what their thoughts may contain later.
Andromeda was the first to break the kiss as she moved her hands up to caress his face while staring deeply into his eyes.
"Happy?"
"Sure. I am always happy with you."
"Good. Now, this was why I avoided you because you never let my lips rest."
'But I do not want to You cannot blame me for your beauty."
'Sigh. What if other guys did this too? I am not yours. I belong to no one, so you cannot kiss me without my permission," she cautioned him properly.
She knew that if she did not properly tell him to stop, she would be caught in the cobweb of his affections.
As good as it was, she wanted and needed more.
"You have to refrain from doing so in the future, else I would leave you and this company."
"What?"
"That's the truth. Respect my lips. Now, be a good CEO and let go of your employee."
